Channel 4 News: Our Vision

The issues you care about, brought to life, by experts you know, trust and like.

Channel 4 News is committed to challenging expectations with stories that reveal and inspire, innovatively produced – with just a touch of mischief.

A passionate pursuit of the truth, a spotlight on injustice – News that’s on your side.

A news programme like no other…

On seven nights a week and presented by Jon Snow since 1989, the programme reflects a commitment to:

Telling you what they don’t want you to know

Asking the questions you want answered

Being in touch with your lives & what matters to you

Exposing injustice

Holding to account

Seeing it & showing it differently

Applying a healthy mix of scepticism, humour and mischief

Since its launch, the programme has been regularly awarded by the Royal Television Society, BAFTA, Broadcast, Amnesty International and One World Media for its home news stories, extensive foreign coverage and team of experienced presenters, editors, correspondents and reporters.
